| 77 | Framed | 1562 | Ptolemy Tabula Asiae X
Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, was known in the 16th century as Tapobrana and first called that in the Geographia of Claudius Ptolemy but was continually confused with other areas – particularly Sumatra because of latitude errors of early navigation. This map was first issued in 1561. That plate is recognizable by the fact that the pressmark runs off the plate. A second state corresponding to the current example was issued in 1574. This was an independent plate. A third and final plate was issued in 1599. Cartographer: Munster/Ruscelli |

The New World map prepared by Joan Blaeu for his eleven-volume 'Atlas Maior' in 1662 is, unlike its predecessor, in two hemispheres. Outside the twin hemispheres at the top are celestial figures seated amid clouds: below are representations of the four seasons with each allegorical figure seated in an appropriate chariot quaintly drawn by pairs of beasts and birds. As with all productions by the firm of Blaeu, the engraving and layout and elegance of decoration are all of the highest standard. Cartographer: Blaeu |

| 97 | Coloured Loose | 1634 | Five Continents
[Five Continents]: The world :Africa [Nova & Acvrata Totivs Africae Tabvla]: North & South America [Nova Acvrata Totivs Americae Tabvla]: Asia [Nova & Acvrata Totivs Asiae Tabvla]]: Europe [Nova Acvrata Totivs Evropae Tabvla]. [Venice: Stefano Scolari, c. 1646]. A set of five maps by the Dutch cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu and covers Europe, Africa, Asia and America, and has a single map of the world. Decorated with a title cartouche, compass rose, ships and sea monsters, each map is bordered in typical Blaeu fashion with local inhabitants in appropriate 17th century dress. Each territory is shown in different colours.. The world map was originally a stand alone publication it was included in Nova Totius Terrarum Geographica and has been described as one of the most famous world maps of the Baroque Era. They were also included in the expensive Blaeu’s books Atlas Appendix and Atlas Novus. Both Pieter Van der Keere and Johnann Jansson, produced almost identical copies of the map in their own collections, as did Henricus Hondius in his 1633 atlas. Willem Janzoon Blaeu had access to the most up to date geographical information of the dy as he held the position of Chief Cartographer at the Dutch East India Company in Amsterdam. There are many important features such as a tribure to Amerigo Vespucci and his reported “discovery” of America. The Southern Hemisphere is referred to as “Terra Australis Incognita” and is shown as a very large balancing continent as it was thought that there was a very large northern mass.. The maps detail depictions of the Sun, the Moon and the Planets and the seven wonders of the ancient world including the hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus at Rhodes, the Pyramids, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Temple of Diana, the Statue of Jupiter and the Lighthouse at Alexandria. The four human labeled elements of fire, air water and earth are shown together with the four seasons. In all, Blaeu’s set is an outstanding work and demands a premier position in any collection Extremely rare
